I need to create an alarm that sends an email when 2 nodes are up.Example:node A and node B has top status ==> send emailplease put screens as they do ...

You should be able to do this with a couple condition groups.

Ah yeah, good one.
Has anyone ever been able to make this actually work (ie. have you TESTED it?)
I was just trying to do the same over here and failed. And I've tried all the strategies suggested in the thread.
Yeah, every time I'm onsite with a customer - though usually we're looking for things to go down, not up. If you're around, shoot me an email and we can fire up a gotomeeting or something tonight. sklassen at sigmasolinc dot com
You know it doesn't, should have tested before I replied. We have this problem with alert suppression and, I hate getting old, I wrote this post....
May have a bearing on why but not a solution.
The problem is the second criteria is using All instead of ANY. This creates the logic that the NodeName has to be equal to NodeA and NodeB which can never be true.
Ah, right. I knew I did it my way for a reason.
Still won't work
Yeah, hmm. You almost need an anti-suppression (do this only if this other condition is also true). Since the alert conditions are evaluated on a per-row basis, the node name can't be X and Y at the same time.
What about a negated suppression? Trigger condition: node A is up; suppression condition: node B is down. Then the alert will only fire if node A is up and avoids being suppressed by node B being down.
Right. That's what I was suggesting. See the screenshots posted above for an example.
